Rebellious and explicit [some extremely!] they reflect Jim’s fascination with ‘the cutting edge’ and pushing the limits. Dark, strange, brilliant and childlike, they give rare insight into the mind of a hero who led a generation in cultural revolution.” --Excerpted from 'Up For Bids,' The lithograph copies of the entire set of Morrison art are for sale on the Internet, but this is one of the original drawings.
